Mars (National Geographic)

Stumbled on this series on Netflix so thought I'd give it a go, just wondering who else has watched it.

The jump between the story of the 2030s and the science behind it in 2016 is a little disjointed, as though the series itself doesn't really know just what it wanted to be. Found myself wanting more of the fiction and less of the science, as it could be a great story if they have the full run time to tell it.

Thoughts and opinions?

I enjoyed the science documentary, thought the dramatized story was mildly entertaining but rife with cliches. They promised a second season, but I think I'll skip it.

It wasn't amazing but I thought it was pretty interesting. The fictional stuff was pretty good, and the science was interesting.
